Thanks Tracy.
I agree on the math and appreciate the staff recommendation.
I’m working on the Proof of Notification and will get that to Torrence this morning.
Thanks again for all your department’s help with navigating this process.

Thanks Bob,
I’ve plugged in the square footage numbers into the report that you provided and after the calculations
I still come up with a deficiency of 12 parking spaces. This includes the 612 sq ft of outdoor eating area
which by code is required to be calculated into the overall restaurant space for a total of 8,571 sq ft. (86
required parking spaces)
The remainder of the 16,055 sq ft is calculated as office (15 required parking spaces.) The building as
proposed will required 101 parking spaces, 72 located on site, plus and additional 7 with the proposed
site revisions, and 10 under lease agreement, leaving 12 additional spaces required.
For your information I have attached the revised Staff Report which still incudes a recommendation of
approval.
Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Tracy,
Attached is the Revised Application noting “no increase to the 90 spaces”.
The requested outdoor dining area is still the same 612 sf and variance letter is still valid.
Thanks again, Bob

Bob,
To respond to your earlier email if you want to increase the outdoor eating area to 600 sq ft it needs to
be shown on the plan and it will need to be added to the variance.
Also, attached you will find another draft of the staff report for your variance hearing. I have amended
this based on the site revision and also used the square footage numbers from the Pulaski County
Accessors Office. If your square footage numbers are more accurate please send any documentation
that you have and I will plug these in and see if we can lower the parking requirement. However, by my
calculations the site is still deficient by 12 spaces.
And finally, I wanted you to be aware of the civil engineering comment below.
I will be out of my office tomorrow but if you need to discuss Torrence and Romie will be available.
Thanks,
Tracy

Tracy,
Civil Engineering does not have any comments; however the fire marshal and his staff need to review
and approve this for fire truck access and to check any drive-thru awning heights meeting their required
minimum height of 13’ 8”.

C & D
The applicant for a BOA variance this month is requesting to amend his site plan. Do either of you have
an issue with the 10’ drive aisle on the south (righthand side of the property)?
Let me know as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Tracy
